A party to celebrate the release of Pamela, a Love Story, her new Netflix
documentary, was held Wednesday evening at the Paris Theater in New York
City. Pamela Anderson was a vision of glitz and glamour at the event.
Sergio Hudson's black and white vertically striped draped wool and cashmere
blend coat was on the 55-year-old Canadian from Ladysmith.
At the Big Apple event, the V.I.P. actress wore the designer coat over an
off-white cowlneck satin gown.
Brandon Lee, Anderson's eldest son, worked as a producer on the Netflix
documentary.
Lee stated earlier this week that his mother was grossly underpaid while
she was working on the popular show Baywatch in the 1990s, as she only
earned $4,000 annually from residuals.
Lee told Extra at the Netflix Tudum Theater in Hollywood, California, where
the documentary's premiere was held on Monday, "When I go back and I even
look at past deals and residual checks people would be shocked to find out
how people really took advantage of her."
He said that his mother, who played C.J. Parker on 110 episodes of the
syndicated show from 1992 to 1997, was "a young girl making a bad deal on a
big show and she was the biggest star at the time" when he spoke of
her.
He went on to say: A lot of people made a lot of money from that. When we
come knocking, people will have to have their day... when she makes $4,000 a
year from Baywatch? That is illegal.'
In the ensemble cast of the beach-themed show, which also included David
Hasselhoff, Yasmine Bleeth, David Charvet, Gena Lee Nolin, Nicole Eggert,
Donna D'Errico, and, in later seasons, Jason Momoa, Anderson was a breakout
star.
According to a piece that was published in 2019 by Yahoo, the $4,000 annual
residual rate pales in comparison to many of Anderson's contemporaries who
appeared on successful shows that went on to syndication.
According to a 2015 USA Today report, the principal six Friends cast
members Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox,
Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc receive $20 million per year from a deal
that gave them 2% on residuals each.
According to a 2014 report in New York Magazine, the creators of another
well-known show from the 1990s, Seinfeld, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld,
receive up to $400 million for each cycle of syndication.
The International Business Times reported in 2013 that Julia Louis-Dreyfus,
Michael Richards, and Jason Alexander are not shareholders in the
show.
According to a Yahoo report, the actor earned up to $18 million annually
from the royalties he received for his work on the popular CBS show
Everybody Loves Raymond.
